CRIED OF THE YANKEES: There is crying in baseball — as Joe Torre shows when the Old-Timers’ Day crowd showered him with cheers as he was announced during pregame ceremonies.Paul J. Bereswill

Joe Torre remembers the emotions he felt in 2007 when he removed his Yankees uniform after his final game as manager.

Yesterday, he put the familiar No. 6 back on, and was just as emotional.

“Just putting it on, it felt good,” Torre said. “Taking it off was quite emotional back in ’07, knowing at the time that I wasn’t going to do this anymore. I don’t like to dwell on stuff, but I certainly did feel differently when I put it on today. It’s something I haven’t done in a long time, and it’s obviously the uniform that meant the most to my career.”

Torre was back in The Bronx for his first Old-Timers’ Day. It was a new ballpark and he was in a new role, but Torre and the Yankees fans showed their love affair continues.

The fans gave Torre a long, loud ovation when he was introduced to the crowd and joined the other Old-Timers on the first-base line.

“It was a great experience for me,” Torre told The Post after leaving the field. “Run out to that first-base line, it was kind of like the playoff days. It was a little emotional.”

It was not Torre’s first time at the new Yankee Stadium. He returned last September for the tribute to George Steinbrenner, and has been there many times this season in his new role with the commissioner’s office.

But yesterday was a special moment for Torre. It was his first time back in uniform and the first time the fans got a chance to express their gratitude for the man who led the Yankees to six World Series and four championships. At the Steinbrenner tribute, there were no introductions, so he was cheered, but not like yesterday.

“Every time I thought it was going to quiet down, somebody picked back up,” Torre said. “Maybe I had family all over this place that were starting these chants.”

Torre reiterated he has no desire to return to managing. He seems content with his new job.

This visit to Yankee Stadium was not filled with all of the fence-mending of last year’s, when he spent time repairing relationships damaged after his 2007 departure and his 2009 book.

“The fact that I’d been here before, I’m working this job, it’s not like I needed this for any kind of closure,” he said. “This is just a day that is going to stand alone for me.”
